don't.
DRBD does not (yet) support consistency bundling of several drbd.
so whenever you have a connection loss, your four devices will
disconnect in a slightly different order.
consistency of your stripe set cannot be guaranteed.
I also think you'd get better performance out of drbd on top of raid.
